Visiting Elkwater Mini Golf
Alberta Parks identifies an eighteen-hole mini-putt course at Elkwater, the main service townsite on the Alberta side of Cypress Hills. Mini-putt and disc golf share a listing but use different equipment and should not be treated as one course.
| Season and enquiry | Mini-putt is open in summer, weather permitting; the listed enquiry number is 403-893-3833 extension 5. Source |
|---|---|
| Equipment distinction | The Visitor Centre's disc rentals and maps apply to disc golf, not an established miniature-golf rental policy. Source |
| Autumn facilities | A September 2, 2026 park notice says campground water and some toilets begin winterization September 21; Lakeview Shower House retains year-round services. Source |
Our planning take
Check mini-putt's own closing date before an autumn park visit, and ask where to collect putters rather than requesting disc rentals. Plan washroom stops around seasonal facility notices. The notice about water services does not establish a mini-putt closure date, and the park's nine-versus-eighteen disc-golf wording does not change the confirmed eighteen mini-putt holes.
Tickets and budget
Alberta Parks confirms the course but does not give miniature-golf admission.
